Great slice of life show about girls in a school in the future (near, no re
al
SF). Japan's birthrate has declined further, and the school is facing closu
re.
The girls don't want their year to be the last the school has. Apart from t
he
total moe look of the characters, it's a great show with lots of heart. Gre
at
climax at the end, the school festival is almost better than Haruhi's... ^_^

>6. To Aru Majutsu no Index (Another odd one, but looks interesting)

Tried to get into it, but gave up after two episodes.

>9. Hyakko (Seems generic, but I tend to like the format)

Somewhat, slice of life, it got a lot of flak in Japan for being too ordina
ry. I
loved it. Some absolutely great characters and whacky situations. The previ
ew to
one episode is the most amazing thing I ever saw (and was totally faked!).

>10. Kannagi (Looks interesting)

Loved it! People like Hitoshi had trouble getting to like the characters, b
ut I
loved Nagi's struggle to live in a human world. I would love to see this one
continued.
